Aquatic Environmental Systems – an Interdisciplinary Approach for Scientists and Engineers

Aquatic Environmental Systems: An Interdisciplinary Approach for Scientists and Engineers is a book that helps readers grow their knowledge of fundamental principles from chemistry, physics, and biology to understand, describe, and predict the ways in which constituents (sediment, nutrients, organic matter, etc.) interact and move in aquatic systems. It provides a common vocabulary and a rigorous material balance-based approach to understanding these movements and interactions, examining the key properties of water and the ways they impact the behavior of water in the environment. It also offers open-ended exercises to allow students to tailor work to their personal local/regional interests and accommodates a wide range of mathematics skills and backgrounds.

Environmental science attracts students and practitioners from diverse backgrounds, necessitating materials that facilitate their understanding of fundamental principles from chemistry, physics, and biology. This knowledge is crucial for comprehending, describing, and predicting the interactions and movements of constituents such as sediment, nutrients, organic matter, and more within aquatic systems, including rivers, lakes, groundwater, and the atmosphere.

Aquatic Environmental Systems: An Interdisciplinary Approach for Scientists and Engineers aims to establish a shared language and a rigorous material balance-based methodology to unravel these movements and interactions. It delves into the key properties of water and their profound influence on water behavior within the environment. By providing a focused enumeration of the aspects of water structure that directly impact aquatic environmental systems, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of these complex systems.

Key Features:

Open-ended exercises allow students to tailor their work to their personal local/regional interests, fostering a deeper connection to the subject matter.

Emphasis is placed on conveying the underlying principles and assumptions/limitations that often go unnoticed or undersold in other books.

Rather than focusing solely on memorization, the book emphasizes practical methods that can be applied to solve broader, more complex problems.

It accommodates a wide range of mathematics skills and backgrounds, making it accessible to students from various academic backgrounds.

By providing a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, Aquatic Environmental Systems equips scientists and engineers with the tools they need to understand, analyze, and predict the dynamics of aquatic systems, contributing to the preservation and management of our natural water resources.
